How to get your first book published: write a novel, rewrite the novel, send out a thousand queries, develop several new personality disorders while waiting for rejection emails, and pretend to feel completely normal about all of it 🤣 #amquerying #writingcommunity #author #scifi #publishing

Query Tip of the Day:

Only pitch one project per query letter.

(Unless the agent or editor specifically asks to see more in your initial query letter.)

Oh, Perry, my little idealistic, heart-on-his-sleeve, plant-loving workaholic.

#WIPSnips #AmQuerying #WritingPrompt #OCs

Even in his workaholic ways, one thing Perry always attempted to observe was the weekend. Sure, maybe he had to go into the greenhouse to check on a delicate plant that needed special care and that he trusted with no one else. But he wouldn’t spend the entire day there, at least. Usually.

I made this graphic after I saw a Reddit post asking for FMCs like Padme.
Both of my main characters are kind and gentle, queer, and struggle with mental illnesses (depression, anxiety, PTSD) and migraines!

Just got a query reply (a rejection) from a novel query I submitted in March 2025.

2025.

17 months ago.

It took them 17 months to get back to me.

543 days.

The first line of your book is more important than you think. Agents love a "killer" opening line—yours might be buried way down in your first chapter. It's all in today's HYR episode of the #storynerd podcast. #querytrenches #queryinglitagents #amquerying #literaryagent

I can never resist sharing the beautiful art I have for my book baby!
#AmQuerying #DVParty

A painting by @winterofherdiscontent. A white woman in a long white dress reminiscent of a wedding dress walks arm in arm with a man of color wearing black, away from a harbor. A pegasus flies in the background. The couple are wearing crowns. A chibi commission for BETWEEN THE SUN AND MOON by Sasha Kielman by Afterblossom art! Background: A palace in blue and purple marble with yellow twinkling lights and cherry blossom branches. A man with brown skin, black hair, and a beard dressed as a knight with a gray cape kneels before a woman. She has pale skin and rosy cheeks, brown hair curled into a braid, a golden crown, and a black dress with golden detailing.

How do you introduce your main character to your reader? As literary agent, Krista White, points out it's "of utmost importance." #storynerd #literaryagent #amquerying #queryinglitagents #mswl
